l-Iaving described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:is:

A chain link V saidloops being threaded throughtheother of saidloops and bent back on itself, and the freeendof said other loop being coiledabout sald link adjacent the point of connection of saidloops. i

chain link comprising a singlecont nuous strand ofmaterlal bent to form two loops, a free end of one of said loops b'eing .of said loops. especially strong, the ends being held from [separation by vfriction and by thelrigidity of the .-wire in I an efficient manner without;

said auxiliary loop,

V said firstmentioned free end. comprising a single continuous strand of material bent to form twosingle-strand loops, the free end of one "of threaded through the other of saidloops and bind three strands thereof adjacent the point of connection of said loops;- '7

v 3. A chain linli.coiiipi'ising a single co ntinuous strand'ofmaterial bent to form two said loops being threaded tlirough the other ofsaid loops and bent -backonitself, and the freejendfof' said other loop being coiled to encircle saidlink and the "bent-back "end of said first mentioned loopadjafcent the point of connection of said loops. c i

it. A chain link-comprising a single continuous strand of material bentjto forrntwo single-strand loops, thefree end of one of single-strand loops, the free end of one ofv said loops being bent to form hook engaging: a strand of the other'ofsaidloops, 'and- H the free-end of said other'lo'op being bent to encircle saidlink and to'clam'p the sides of said hook adjacent'the point of connection hain linkcomprising single continuous strand of 'materlal bent to formxtwo loops, a free end of one of said loopsbeing' point of connection of said loops;

bent to form a hookengaging a strandof the other of .said'loops, saidrengaged strand l 6. A chainlink comprising a singleton I tinuous strand of material bent 'to'] form a .'si'ngle-strand main loop and a 'singleestr'and 'auxiliar'y loop at right angles: thereto, the free end of said auxiliary} loop being bent back on itself to encircle a strand of; said 7 .main loop and-the free end' of San-main loop being bent to forina coil infa plane perpendicular to I the planes ofjsaidfrloops,

said coil constricting the said linkadjaoent the point of, connection of said loops, said,

bent to form a hook engaging a strand of '1 the other of said loops and extending through said first mentioned loop, and'the free end of said otherrl-oopbeing bent to en'- circle said link andterminating adjacent 8. A e chain link comprising a} vcontinuous strand of material bent to form a singlestrand main 10 p, .anda single-strandaux: iliaryloop at'right angles thereto, the free a hook engaging a strandof said main loop through said auxiliary loop and being bent r and the free endof saidflmain loop extending to form acoil binding the sides ofsaidhookv l and furtherextending through, said aux iliary loop beneaththe initial part of said coil and along said hook adjacent the point of connection of said loops. 7

9. A chain'link' comprising a continuous strand of material bent to form two single-' the neck of said link to bind said other end and further extending through the coil thereof and being bound thereby.

10. A chain link, including a ire bentto provide a pair of loops extending in planes substantially at right angles to each other, one end of said Wire encircling the inner end of one of said loops, and the other end of said Wire encircling said link at the point of juncture of said loops and retaining the firstnamed' Wire end against movement.

11. A chain link, including a Wire bentto provide a loop, one of the ends of said Wire being extended beyond said loop and bent to provide a second loop, said end beingfurther extended around the Wire forming said first loop, and the second end of said wlre extending around the exteriorof said link and said last-named endportion.

- 12. A chain link, including a Wire bent to provide two loops, the end of one-of said loops being extended in the form of a thirdv 5 loop embracing the Wire forming said first loop, and the end of said first loop being extended to provide a fourth loop encircling said link adjacent the ends and juncture of all of said loops.

In testimony whereof I aflix'my signature. 7
